Abstract: An optimal control method for wastewater treatment process (WWTP) based on a self-adjusting multi-task particle swarm optimization (SA-MTPSO) algorithm belongs to the field of WWTP. To balance the relationship between the effluent water quality (EQ) and energy consumption (EC) and achieve optimization online quickly, the invention establishes a data-based multi-task optimization model for WWTP to describe the relationship between the control variables and EQ, EC. Then, the SA-MTPSO algorithm is adopted to solve the optimal set-points of the nitrate nitrogen and dissolved oxygen concentration for WWTP. The PID controller is used to track the optimal set-points, so as to reduce EC while ensuring EQ, and realize the online optimal control of WWTP.
